Effect of Low-Pressure Plasma Treatment on the Surface Wettability of Poly(butylene succinate) Films

Espedito Vassallo et al.

Summary: Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) films were processed by radio frequency (RF; 13.56 MHz) low-pressure plasma to improve their wettability and oxygen barrier properties. The plasma treatment resulted in surface functionalization that could be applied practically, such as the deposition of SiOx onto PBS surfaces.

Preharvest Bagging as an Alternative Technique for Enhancing Fruit Quality: A Review

Nana Millicent Duduzile Buthelezi et al.

Summary: Poor orchard management and field sanitation can lead to fruit tree infections and pest infestations, affecting postharvest fruit quality. The use of agrochemicals like fungicides and insecticides to manage pathogens and pests has been criticized for its adverse effects on workers' safety, consumers' health, and the environment. Preharvest bagging is an environmentally friendly technology that protects tree fruit against various threats and enhances fruit quality.

Comparison of methodologies used to determine aromatic lignin unit ratios in lignocellulosic biomass

Renee M. Happs et al.

Summary: This study compared different methods for determining aromatic lignin unit ratios in plant cell walls, showing that results can vary depending on species and linkage abundances. Spectral deconvolution can be applied to some hardwoods dominated by S and G units, but may not be reliable for species with more diverse lignin composition. HSQC may be a better method for analyzing lignin in such species. Trends and correlations in lignin characteristics within the same species may not necessarily exhibit the same trends or correlations across different biomass types. Careful consideration is needed when choosing a method to measure S/G ratios.

Structural Characteristics of the Guaiacyl-Rich Lignins From Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Husks and Straw

Mario J. Rosado et al.

Summary: Rice is a major cereal crop worldwide, and its by-products such as rice husks and straw contain lignins that can be used for producing chemicals and materials. Analysis showed that the lignins from rice husks and straw are enriched in guaiacyl units, but depleted in p-hydroxyphenyl and syringyl units.

Technical Lignin Valorization in Biodegradable Polyester-Based Plastics (BPPs)

Si-Jie Zhou et al.

Summary: Synthetic plastics have had a profound impact on the planet, bringing convenience while also posing environmental challenges. Biodegradable plastics are seen as sustainable alternatives, and blending them with low-cost fillers can reduce costs. Technical lignin as a coproduct can enhance the economic competitiveness of composites, but the main obstacle lies in the incompatibility between lignin and plastics.
